Despite my enjoyment of the French language, I am about as American as they come. Both sides of my family were here by the 1650s. We were the original Euro-trash, thrown out before the rush.

I learned as much about English studying French as I did in English class. It made learning computer languages a snap.

My experience with the French military is the reverse of how they are commonly portrayed. Their biggest problem is French politicians.

It is said that Canada was full of promise when they became independent. They thought they would get American technology, French culture, and British politics. What they got was British technology, American culture and French politics.
